Kittens & small cats

A kitten scratcher needs to be low, stable and easy to climb onto. Our two compact cardboard cat scratchers — Snug (59 cm) and the curved Lounge (70 cm) — sit flat on the floor, so even a small kitten can start scratching from day one. Snug suits cats up to 4 kg and is low enough to sit under a windowsill; Lounge suits most cats up to 6 kg.

Starting early matters: a kitten that learns to use a scratch pad is far less likely to practise on your sofa later. Put it next to where your kitten sleeps — cats like to scratch as soon as they wake up. More tips: how to get your cat using a new scratcher in 24 hours.

Each scratcher is handmade from dense 5-layer cardboard with a real wood facade in brown, white or black. Free ParcelShop delivery and 30-day returns. Expecting your kitten to grow into a big cat? See cat scratchers for adult cats or check the size guide.

Kitten scratcher FAQ

When do kittens start scratching?
At around five weeks old, as soon as they are steady on their feet. Give your kitten a scratcher the day it comes home, before any other habit forms — see our kitten scratcher guide.

Kitten scratch pad or a bigger scratcher?
Size it for the cat your kitten will become. A thin scratch pad is outgrown — and worn through — in months; a 59–70 cm cardboard scratcher grows with your kitten and doubles as its bed.

Is it safe for a kitten?
Yes: corrugated cardboard, wood and water-based glue, with no plastic and no rope fibres to snag small claws. Snug and Lounge sit flat and low, so there is nothing to fall from.
